Yerli will be speaking about the opportunities for immersion as graphical realism reaches new levels and technology continues to deliver faster processors capable of greater rendering.

Crytek are known for their CryEngine and CryEngine 2, the engines responsible for the visual splendor of FarCry and Crysis respectively. As the visionary behind these engines, few come as qualified to wax philosophical on the future of gaming graphics than Cevat Yerli.

"The technology available today is light years ahead of what was generally available just five years ago," said Cevat Yerli, CEO & President of Crytek. "Add those advancements to increasing technical expertise as we learn more about graphically creating immersive worlds, and the conditions are right to have graphics play a major role in telling the story of a game."

"Cevat Yerli and Crytek are not only major names in Germany, but also the global video game market," said Frank Sliwka, Conference Director of GCAC. "His keynote will be one of the highlights of the conference and I'm confident he'll inspire the audience to view graphics as an element that is finally capable of telling stories on the level of cinema."
